Deep earth and black cherry on the nose. First taste was strong tannins as noted by other review on this site as well as a bracing acidity (telling me we opened this up 5 years to early) . Decanted an hour before dinner, and drank over 2+ hours. It opened up and the fruit began to show as the night wore on, and was superb with the pork tenderloin and veal striploin. However, I recommend waiting at least 5 years to see what develops.

strong mineral character with citrus fruits. OK not great - it was a gift.
